Rigged Dice & Loaded Dice
A complete guide to trick dice, how they work, and how you can secretly control every outcome with Fake Roll — no physical loaded dice required.
What Are Rigged Dice?
Rigged dice — also called loaded dice, trick dice, or fixed dice — are modified dice designed to land on specific numbers more often than fair dice. Traditionally, this means shaving edges, adding weights, or using magnets inside the die. But today, you can achieve the same effect digitally with a rigged dice roller app.
Fake Roll is a customizable dice roller that lets you secretly preset exactly which numbers appear and in what order. Whether you are performing a magic trick, playing a harmless prank on friends, or running a tabletop RPG session where you need a guaranteed outcome, Fake Roll gives you full control without anyone suspecting a thing.
How Do Loaded Dice Work?
Weighted Core
Physical loaded dice hide a heavy weight near one face, making the opposite side more likely to land face-up.
Shaved Edges
Trick dice with shaved or rounded edges alter how the die tumbles, biasing rolls toward certain numbers.
Magnetic Control
Some advanced rigged dice use hidden magnets or metal cores that respond to external magnetic fields.
